About

The Bryn Mawr School is an independent, nonsectarian all-girls school for grades K-12, with a coed preschool. Founded in 1885, Bryn Mawr is one of the oldest college-preparatory schools for girls in the country. Our goal is to help women succeed by empowering them. We are dedicated to providing girls and young women with the opportunities they deserve. Our students question, lead, achieve and succeed, and they are passionate about lifelong learning. With the support of their teachers and the Bryn Mawr community, they are raising their own expectations about their capabilities – in the classroom, on the stage, in the studio and on the playing field.

Admission

An all-girls' environment provides a wonderful opportunity for girls to explore who they are as young women and scholars without social pressure. It's good to be smart at Bryn Mawr! Our students are academically engaged, inquisitive and not afraid to speak their minds. Learn more about the exceptional foundation Bryn Mawr can offer your daughter.

Academics

Academics at The Bryn Mawr School take many different forms. From the joyful, play-based curriculum used in our Little School to the challenging, supportive academics in our Upper School, Bryn Mawr students experience the many delights and demands of education. Our goal is to help all of our students develop and cultivate a lifelong love of learning. We strive to make learning both fun and challenging, and we focus on developing the whole child—mentally, physically, socially and emotionally.

Arts

Bryn Mawr girls can be found building stage sets, developing photos in the darkroom, starring in the fall musical, playing the cello in a string ensemble and more. Dance, music, theatre and the fine arts are integral parts of the curriculum at Bryn Mawr and are enjoyed by novices and serious aficionados alike. Bryn Mawr girls feel free to try their hands at many things, supported by their teachers and classmates.

We offer a whole-girl, whole-day experience that focuses on integrating each girl’s intellectual, physical and personal development in a comprehensive way both in and out of the classroom. This means expanded arts and athletic offerings at all levels; abundant, healthy food choices throughout the day; and clubs, programs and activities that both enrich our students and provide support to families.
